Shortly after the Three Mile Island reactor accident in 1979, the physicist Edward Teller was featured in a two-page ad by Dresser Industries proclaiming himself as "the only victim of Three-Mile Island" on account of his having a heart attack while trying to lobby for nuclear power (he blamed the heart attack on Jane Fonda and Ralph Nader, not the reactor). It first ran on July 31, 1979 in the Wall Street Journal.

Above is a duplicate ad which ran on October 16, 1979, in the Washington Post (the WSJ ad microfilm was not of very good quality in comparison). The only change from the original is the small box in the lower-right corner was simply the Dresser Industries logo in the original ad. The copyright holder is likely Dresser Industries.

Because it is a reproduction of a historically relevant advertisement at a resolution large enough just to encourage its legibility, and because its use does not conceiveable defraud the copyright holder, I assert that its use on the non-profit English language Wikipedia falls under the fair use clause of U.S. copyright law.
